I dunno. I’ve often wondered why we call Europe a continent. I mean I understand that’s where all this sciency stuff came from, and the folks making these maps and such decided it is. But, really, it’s not. All the arguments on where it stops and Asia starts show that. It’s a subcontinent.

I can understand thinking that big land mass stretching from spain to nearly alaska should have just one name.

From one way of looking, Europe is not a continent, but rather part of the continent of Eurasia.

By that same viewpoint, North and South America are just parts of the continent of America.

This moron, and those who enable her are responsible for so much division and hatred across the USA. I wish people had the stones to tell these pinkos to shut up and sit down before their idiocy even gets started.

Africa is also part of the "Eurasia" land mass. You can reach it without getting your feet wet.
If you use one of the bridges over the Suez Canal, yes. :^)

A continent is a large continuous mass of land conventionally regarded as a collective region. There are seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia (listed from largest to smallest in size).

But that’s from the racist Britannica

She needs to spend some time in Istanbul and straighten them out! The nerve of them to claim their bridge over the Bosphorus connects two continents.

Technically, probably the best way to define a continent is by rhe continental plates. There can also be cultural definitions too, though the boundaries can be less clear.

What is truly sick is that a nutbar like this is taken seriously. Race pimps are awarded a dispensation to fling scat.

She’s not wrong re the continent, geographically. It’s a geo
Political divide not a physical one. That’s why many call it Eurasia.

People are divided into tribes and tongues and cultures and history and governments and etc. it’s not necessarily racism although we can weaponize it that way.
